I'm a Web developer with a passion for creating stable, secure, performant, and accessible websites using PHP and JavaScript. I use WordPress for the majority of my work, but have built my own microframeworks for sites and apps, and love to explore new languages and development trends.

After discovering a vulnerability in a client’s plugin, developed a proof-of-concept exploit, wrote a paper documenting the issue for stakeholders, and patched the plugin so it could be approved for use in a hosting environment.

Contributed to several internal projects such as: developing and documenting Git workflows, 10up Engineering Best Practices, a Yeoman-based WP plugin and theme generator, and a Hubot-based bot for HipChat.
